Westwood (H. E. Weatherbee). — Currant worms are doing 

 some damage, and potato bugs are thick. Indian corn is looking 

 well but is backward ; acreage not over half of the usual average. 

 Haying has begun, and the prospect is for a good crop. Acreage 

 of early potatoes about as usual, and the crop is looking well. 

 Early market-garden crops are up. to the average, and the prospect 

 is good for those not yet harvested. The quantity and price of 

 dairy products is up to the average, and dairy cows are scarce and 

 higher than formerly. Pasturage is in good condition. Straw- 

 berries are a good crop, and currants are looking well. 



Millis (E. F. Richardson). — Potato beetles are doing some 

 damage. Corn is very late, and the acreage is much less than 

 usual. Hay is a large crop, with the exception of low lands 

 and meadows. The acreage of early potatoes is smaller than usual, 

 with the promise of a good crop. Early vegetables are high, less 

 than the usual acreage having been put in. Cows are doing well. 

 Pasturage is in A No. 1 condition. Small berries will be plenty, 

 such as strawberries, blackberries and raspberries. 



Franklin (C. M. Allen). — Potato bugs are more plentiful 

 than usual. Indian corn is looking fairly well but is late ; acre- 

 age 90 per cent of the average. But little hay has been cut and 

 there will be more than an average crop. But few early potatoes 

 were planted, but they are looking well. Yield of early market- 

 garden crops good, prices good, and prospect for later ones good. 

 But little variation in the quantity and price of dairy products and 

 the supply and price of cows. Pastures are in better than average 

 condition. Strawberries, blackberries and raspberries are not 

 more than 75 per cent of last year's crop. 



Norfolk (G. E. Holbrook). — Potato bugs are doing some 

 damage. About the usual amount of corn has been planted but it 

 is late and small. Haying has begun on light land and a fair 

 crop is in sight. About the usual amount of early potatoes were 

 put in but they are late and small. Early market-garden crops are 

 not much raised. Good cows command high prices. Pasturage 

 is in very good condition. Blackberries and raspberries winter- 

 killed quite badly, strawberries rather scarce and selling well so 

 far, wild berries doing well. 



BRISTOL COUNTY. 



AUlehorongJi (Isaac Alger) . — Potato bugs are doing some 

 damage. Indian corn is small for the season but is now growing 

 well ; acreage about the same as last year. Haying has not begun 

 but the crop promises to be up to the average. The acreage of
